Not welcome here it all
I perform a high skilled blue collar job. Can tell you that's around energy.
Been in south America, France, Italy, Norway and Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium and a lot in the UK before.
Everywhere, I had a good time, always felt welcomed in general, and part of a team.
Now I am in Germany, lower Saxony... And, I do not feel welcome anywhere. Literally, anywhere. Even the hotel where I am staying, no one does an effort to speak in English, and when I or my foreign colleagues ask something, there is whispers, mad faces and bad body language. Part of the group is German - not necessarily the leadership, that's mixed - and all the time trying to keep us aside, even on the meal times provided by the employer, the Germans segregate us and ensure they take their bite 1st. For God sake, never witnessed such thing anywhere else.
Job discussions and tool box talks, are mandatory in English, but when it goes to the details they always switch to German and keep us apart, then expecting that we know what's to be done.
Is this just on my industry? It has to be with the region where I am based? Or its just Germany?
